i wonder how pissed george is that his ex wife won an oscar and not him for star wars

i don't think he cares, since he actually was one of the editors on the movie as well and willingly chose to go uncredited. so he basically already has one, unofficially. and he was officially nominated for two awards, which a lot of people in the industry view as being more meaningful than winning anyway

i don't think a lot of you actually know that much about this guy you claim to hate so much . like for instance, he publicly jokes about how dumb and ugly he is all the time, so you're not really taking an egomaniac down a peg with your mocking internet barbs, you're just impotently whining about a family man and philanthropist who somehow ruined your life by making a few subpar children's movies

The truth is that George is just a goon like all you whiny fucks and not a single one of you would be able to make something nearly as long lasting as he star wars franchise. The prequels sucked. Oh well. Episode 3 came out 10 YEARS AGO. GET OVER IT ALREADY.

The man produced MIshima then a year later he produced Howard the Duck. I think it was this site that pointed out in an article/feature from the past that such a feat will forever label George Lucas as an unsolvable mystery for the ages.

Also, Willow is 1000x a better movie about little people in a fantasy setting than Peter Jackson's poo poo rear end hobbit movies.

George Lucas can have good base ideas but he needs some people with talent to refine them into something interesting and neat while not letting him have his over-the-top retarded ideas. imo that's part of why the prequel trilogy was so lovely, there was no one there to buffer between George Lucas idea land and basic understanding of what humans find entertaining and relatable.

“The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

Haha, why do you think everyone is chomping their teeth in pantomime to biting the rear end of their most hated human being ever? Lucas seems like a pretty nice fellow but that doesn't stop his work from being awful and his gargantuan fall from being a highly regarded filmmaker less funny

George Lucas proposes building affordable housing on property

It's been a while since "Star Wars" creator George Lucas did something bold to endear himself to longtime fans. But an unexpected announcement from the legendary filmmaker and producer may win him accolades with the public, if not his wealthy neighbors.
Lucas has spent nearly 25 years planning and lobbying to build a state-of-the-art movie studio on his Grady Ranch property in Marin County, near San Francisco.

But his neighbors have opposed the development for just as long, saying the noise from construction would disrupt their tranquil community.

And now it seems Lucas has finally given up on his studio development dreams. But he's proposed a seemingly brilliant form of revenge for his politically correct neighbors: If he can't have his studio, Lucas wants to install affordable housing instead:

"The level of bitterness and anger express by the homeowners in Lucas Valley has convinced us that, even if we were to spend more time and acquire the necessary approvals, we would not be able to maintain a constructive relationship with our neighbors," Lucas' Skywalker Properties wrote in a letter announcing plans for the housing project.


"We hope we will be able to find a developer who will be interested in low-income housing since it is scarce in Marin. If everyone feels that housing is less impactful on the land then we are hoping that people who need it the most will benefit."

As the website Affordable Housing Finance notes, the median cost of a sing-family home in Marin County is $672,620, compared with the California statewide median cost of $291,080.

The San Francisco Chronicle notes that a housing development on Grady Ranch may not be feasible because of the property's remote location. But that may not really be the point for the determined filmmaker.

And Lucas is already getting support from the Marin Community Foundation, who is teaming with his company, Lucasfilm, to look into the proposal.


"We are thrilled that George Lucas is seeing this as an opportunity to address one of the most critical issues in Marin County—making it possible for a broad range of individuals and families to afford to live in Marin," said Marin Community Foundation President Thomas Peters.

"In many instances, this is housing for people who work in the county but can't afford to live here and for people who grew up here but who now cannot afford safe, secure housing in their home county. And we have always paid particular attention to the need for affordable housing by the county's expanding senior population."

If GRRM could actually be bothered to put his vision to paper we'd probably wish he wouldn't, so he's pretty much on par with Lucas in that sense. Also both of them managed to make a pretty fair trilogy in spite of themselves and kept plowing on no matter how lovely it got for a few more installments.

I honestly thing that nobody would consider it vain if he got that fixed. Then again he's a literal billionaire, and when you get to that level you stop giving a gently caress what people think. I think the prequels were proof of that.
